Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large egg whites
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup, shredded low-fat cheese (such as mozzarella)
- 0.25 cup skim milk
- 1 spray olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Chop the spinach roughly if leaves are large.
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and apply a light coat of olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are wilted.
Pour the egg white mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet. Allow it to sit untouched for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, bringing the cooked portion from the edges to the center. Continue this process to cook the eggs evenly.
After about 2-3 minutes, when the eggs are mostly set but slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheese evenly over the eggs.
Continue cooking for another minute, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the scrambled eggs immediately on warm plates. Enjoy your low-fat scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese.
